Production / Site Manager
Visa sponsorship
Manufacturing · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
If you have spent years keeping machines running and crews on track, this Production / Site Manager opening could be your next step. A national manufacturer that leads its industry needs someone hands-on to look after its rural production site about two hours from Perth.
You would be the person in charge on the ground. Output, safety, stock, quality and rosters all sit with you, and machinery is where most of your attention goes. Senior management is based on the East Coast, so you will have room to make decisions, with high-level support ready when needed. The role asks you to live near the site at least Monday to Friday.
There is good news for applicants who need sponsorship, since the employer is open to them as long as they have the right skills and experience and communicate well.
